ALDI USA reviews

It is a very physical job so it can be good for those who want to be able to stay active and move around. The healthcare is also pretty competitive from what I have seen/heard. Many locations have staff that want to work hard and do well.

The expectations for the employees are getting progressively more and more difficult to achieve. As one who has been working for the company for well over a decade, I have watched the company change a lot as the market has shifted. Some of it good, some of it not so good. The expectations currently seem extremely unrealistic and almost impossible to hit unless you have everything going right for you (I have also been a SM/ASM/management for most of my career with the company).

At this point, the people and friends that I have met. There's really not much else at this point.

I have not met him or have much of an opinion of him. He seems like a capable leader. The VP we have in my division is awful. He doesn't care about the people at all from what his actions say. We have heard several times recently, as they continue to cut payroll, "bodies in the building are not the answer [to the problems in the stores]". When they're forcing stores to function sometimes with only 2-3 people at a given time.

Listen to the tenured people who work the butts off and have poured their blood sweat and tears into the company. Sometimes literally. It's not like I am a new kid that is just upset with the culture of a company I've just started at. And if there is a good reason for doing what corporate is doing, then please explain it so that we can understand and implement it better. In a nutshell, communication is awful.

I don't remember honestly, it's been so many years now.

I'm not sure, but it doesn't feel very good. It's definitely not as good as it use to be. There use to be a larger gap between what our pay was and other companies in the industry which would justify the heavier work load expected of our members vs competition.

For those that it matters to, I am happy that we have diversity. But it doesn't really register for me.

Being able to train and develop others around me. When I get that "ah ha!" moment from them.

-good pay -opportunity to advancement -Good management -good hours

- hard manual labor - only a couple employees on staff at a time - with the entire staff working together it's still hard to get every thing done that needs to be done even when a good staff is present and then they load on more work when there isn't enough time to finish what we already need to do - judged on how fast you ring and customers don't always appreciate how fast we need to put there stuff in the basket

I like how if you work hard it's impossible to go unnoticed due to small staff and that you get paid holidays off insurance is 35 a month for full coverage and 401k is grate if you stay long enough

Medical benefits and community

It comes down to your management and most district level managers are bad

The medical benefits

No

Try to micromanage less let your store managers lead and only step in when there is a problem or when asked. Whoever came up with the idea to switch to the blue box cutters and cheep plastic pallets should not be allowed to contribute anymore.

Ask questions have open availability and reliable transportation. Or at least say you do

Pay. It paid really well and overtime was more than plentiful.

Advancement was extremely limited and the work-life balance was terrible. You were expected to always pick up shifts. Also always had minimal staff and an outrageous amount of call-offs. The turnover rate did not help. This made it so you felt like you were the only one you could depend on time to time.

Good 401k perks and health care

None

Management is terrible

None, long term employees are forgotten. We work hard and get nothing in return. The new lazy people get all of the benefits that we have "EARNED", they just get them. I have put in time ! I think me and my coworkers deserve better! I know nobody cares about us, but I'm really sick of it

Sales and customer care experience

Lack of opportunity

Working with customers direct

There is never a dull moment, always critical thinking involved, and the people.

Lack of communication and unprepared for small and big changes and daily needs.

Good 401k perks and health care

Fellow Employees

not organized

The best part of this Company was the Health Insurance

Nothing

heavy things

things that are very heavy and super ugly :) I just hate working there.

The benefits, The hours

The stacking and the freezer

Health, life, dental, family

That I truly love their products and stores, hands down my favorite grocery store

Aldi is trapped in it's old school ways, they're a multibillion dollar international company that should be compete at that level with their work environment and benefits

Generous vacation/sick time

Most days are fast paced and require on spot decision making

Challenging without real guidance

401k

Flexible So many people to meet Surrounded by food Face paced

Sometimes the customers had unhappy mentioning or were rude

Available work hours as early as 5am

Structure isn't implemented therefore team lacks production efforts

Vacation/sick pay is based on average pay and hours worked
